Previously regarded as a subspecies of albilabris (e.g., Storr 1974; Midtgaard 2019).
Storr, Smith & Johnstone (1983) treated albilabris as monotypic, suggesting that they regarded sobria as a distinct species, as did
Wells & Wellington (1984).
Validity as a separate species was supported by Melville, Date, Horner & Doughty (2019).
